Capsule3 Pro

If you’re looking beyond the usual picks, the SoundPEATS Capsule3 Pro punch way above their price with great battery life and LDAC support, and the TOZO NC9 are cheap but shockingly good for casual listening with decent ANC. The JBL Live Pro 2 are another nice middle ground with strong bass and reliable multipoint. Try them out before you buy at audiotones .co

The AirPods 4 ANC is impressive for open earbuds, but don’t expect it to beat in-ear buds with tips. Great if you’re in the Apple ecosystem, but if max ANC is the goal, cheaper in-ear options like SoundPEATS Capsule3 Pro block out more.

The pro 2s are some of the flattest and clearest of not the most clear TWS in ears that exist so quite the bs of muddy bass on the pro 2, go watch Crinicale or Dankpods and they say the same thing 100% an apple glazer, i ring soundpeats earnuds and they are 80% of what the APP 2 ARE FOR $100 AUD

SOUNDPEATS Capsule 3 Pro all the way, the sound is magnificent

Might want to try playing with the EQ. If it doesn't suit you, can try checking out Earfun Air Pro 4 or oneplus buds 4. Soundpeats capsule 3 pro plus is a personal favorite as well

I am not an audiophile scientist. My guage for audio quality is how the music makes me feel while listening and the cost of entry for each level of feel. I also have 3 categories that I have alway used for audifonos EDC, listening , and production. IEMs don't fall into production range for me except for audition on every piece of gear I can while production is being mixed for me. I have only had the H3 for about 3 hours and am currently swapping between my c3p+ and the H3 and replaying parts of tracks over and over. My wife is worried about my mental health this morning. As with all IEMs the H3 needs to be EQ'd right away. For me LDAC enabled is a must or they can't keep up with the c3p+ at all, the adaptive hearing test in the Soundpeats app is worth running, and I ended up with the same Focal tips from my c3p+ (no idea if they fit in the case yet). The H3 is the clear winner for listening. I am impressed by the instrument separation and quality in general. Bass is just deep enough to give me the feels with hip-hop and house music. Rock and classical, while not my daily, are very enjoyable and again the impressive separation. Sepultura and Slayer get a triple 🤘 For me the H3 is not a multi-tool like the c3p+. My wife can hear the audio coming from H3, that is a big deal for me for public usage. LDAC must be enabled to get the audio quality and single device paring is also a big deal for me for an EDC IEM. I see myself using the H3 for listening at home use only (maybe airplanes too). The c3p+ will remain my EDC so I can still bump on public transportation privately, have dual device pairing for working, and ill definitely be able to wait until I am home to use the H3 to listen to new (to me) tracks. I hope this helps someone looking to choose an EDC or a pure audio IEM in the price range. I paid $111 (current exchange) for the H3 and I believe around $50 for cp3p+.
